The Boat Show is, well, a show about boats! Aimed at the newcomers to the sport who want to dip their toes before taking the plunge. The show covers boats from all floats of life, from little tinnies and car toppers all the way to racing yachts and power cruisers. View show

Race Week was conceived by David Hutchen in 1983, after he had moved to the Whitsundays with his yacht “Banjo Paterson” to start a yacht charter business. David was able to convince the then owner and founder of Hamilton Island, Keith Williams, to agree to hosting the event as a way of generating tourism and favourable media attention to the resort.
